Yeah, their acadmey is terrific, but they still have the resources to buy whoever the frick they want when they are 10, instead of 25. Messi was a prodigal talent from day one. It is not like they are finding diamonds out of the rough.

It's probably been discussed, but the over-reacting and constant appeals for cards and calls.
I know, most teams do this, but it seems Barca do it more. Someone gets fouled, and literally half of their team is in the official's face, calling for a card.
I used to be a very big Barca fan, but it seems they flop, dive, whine, and cry more than they used to do. Perhaps I just more perceptive now? 
Except Messi. He tries to stay on his feet more than nearly 99% of players in the world. I respect that heck out of that.

I hate that they both rush the ref after every call and try to bully him. That's what annoys me, refs need to card people who encircle him.

I've been a Barca fan since I started watching soccer when I was in middle school. My gf is a HUGE madridista. To her credit she does dislike CR7 (Ozil is her favorite player). The disagreement has made for fun Clasico bets (of which I have 0 loses)

Couldn't agree more, which is why I stated the same thing.
It's ridiculous. Like they need referee help to win.

I don't dislike either. I have good friends in Barcelona so I tend to root for them to do well. As stated already, I just hate some of the players... Sergio Busquets, Pedro, Marcelo, Di Maria.
I just hate when they play each other as of late. There is incredible talent facing off and yet it is typically a shite show. Kinda hoping for a Bayern Munch v Barca CL final for that reason. Maybe Ribery can get himself suspended for the final for a bonus.
